TALK OF THE TOWN: RELATIONAL MARCH

ESTHER NEFF, BRIAN MCCORKLE / EDWARD G SHARP, DAVID IAN GRIESS

Panoply Performance Laboratory travelled with Future Death Toll across 23 cities, making individual relational acts of performance and acting out processes of touring. People were met, interviews performed, BBQ eaten, McDonalds visited, bowling balls taped to feet, snow melted, frozen lakes trespassed, participations conducted, songs written and sung, relational aesthetics problematized, all interspersed with much driving in a rental car.
